Trio of Pomona sisters donate hair

POMONA - Catherine Grace Heavner, 8, of Pomona, a third-grader at St. Augustine's School, cut and donated her hair to Locks of Love.

Her older sisters Corinne and Samantha also donated hair to the organization.

Locks of Love is a nonprofit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 21 with medical hair loss.

These custom-fitted hair prosthetics are provided free of charge or on a sliding scale to children whose families meet the Locks of Love Board of Directors guidelines.

Rotary dedicates new message board

SUFFERN - At the crossroads of Washington and Orange avenues, visitors and residents alike have been enjoying up-to-date village of Suffern announcements courtesy of the Suffern Rotary Club.

A new message board, donated and installed by the Suffern Rotary Club last January, was formally dedicated on Jan. 3.

The public ceremony took place at 11:30 a.m. and included Rotarians, village officials and community members.

The installation was a joint venture between Suffern's Department of Public Works and 15 Rotarians in 2012.

The $5,000 bulletin board, which is illuminated, had to be delivered by a DPW front loader before being placed on the posts. Esthetic enhancements were also made at Point Park and electrical connections completed, so the sign is readable 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
